Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Bacon and Garnish

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and coat a sheet pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Place the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Add Bacon: Scatter the chopped bacon pieces evenly around the Brussels sprouts on the sheet pan for even cooking and flavor distribution.
  4. Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are browned and tender. Halfway through, you may toss them gently for even crisping.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top, and serve immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Wash Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim the ends by cutting a thin slice off the bottom stems and remove any damaged or brown leaves before halving.
  • Cut bacon into small pieces to ensure it crisps up well during roasting.
  • Use regular cut bacon instead of thick cut to match the cooking time of the Brussels sprouts.
  • Select Brussels sprouts that are uniform in size and shape to guarantee even cooking.
